Sitting on break the other day I said to my table mates, "Hey, that looks like the Dalai Lama." They scoffed and said "No way - he would have lots of security." I replied, "But he has divine protection, I'm sure. Why would he need more security than that?" That was the end of that. Well evidently he WAS here at Shapiro's! Wish I had paid more attention. These little moments are the interesting part of our days on the job.
We have had a fun, but very long, weekend and tonight is the night! It's not too late to come in and get yourself set up with food from the best kosher style restaurant in Indianapolis. The Carmel, Indiana deli will also be open until 9:00 tonight. Come on in and get stocked up on some deli favorites to munch on while you watch the NCAA Final Four game tonight.
GO BUTLER BULLDOGS!
Beginning today Shapiro's Deli will be offering Bologna and Salami Sandwiches at $4.95!! This is a huge price break and it's not just a special....the boss changed the price! These are kosher-style meats that we offer every day along with our very popular pastrami, corned beef, and roast beef brisket. Yes, there is also peppered beef, roasted and smoked turkey, rare roast beef, and some awesome beef franks.
We are looking forward to a very busy week here at Shapiro's Deli. Along with our catering services, we are a very popular spot for St. Patrick's Day. Even in the midst of Big Ten Basketball we are busy prepping for St. Patty's. It's just a heartbeat away and then here comes more basketball with the NCAA Final Four Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium the first weekend in April.
If you are going to be in Carmel or Indianapolis and are looking for a kosher style restaurant, you MUST stop at Shapiro's Deli. I spoke to a gentleman this morning who has been coming here for 63 years. He still brings business associates here and I can't tell you how proud that makes us feel! Thank you for your loyalty.
There is an award winning article about Shapiro's Delicatessen in the Fall 2009 issue of Traces of indiana and Midwestern History. Written by Douglas Wissing and published by the Indiana Historial Society, this article is entitled "The Shapiro's Story". An excerpt: "Run by Russian immigrantss from Odessa, Louis and Rebecca Shapiro, the store also included some of the couple's eight children, who helped out with customers as the youngest ones were safely ensconced in the apartment above." "Each morning for their customers' sensory delight, the Shapiros scattered aromatic spices on the grocery's wooden floors. 'It smelled so good', ninety eight year old Shapiro daughter Sylvia Gorfain remembered about her childhood in the store. 'People stood in line.'" The entire story is told in a dozen pages with so much detail and depth with insight into the personal stories of the Shapiro family through the generations.
Another fantastic mention was received in the National Geographic Food Journeys of a Lifetime, 500 Extraordinary Places to Eat Around the Globe. This is a beautiful book, as you would expect from National Geographic. In the section titled Top Ten Travelers' Restaurants, Shapiro's Deli is given a nod as one of the places to visit in the Indianapolis International Airport.
Several years ago, USA TODAY named Shapiro's Deli as one of the TOP 10 DELIS IN AMERICA.

It's got to be better than "airline food".
There are probably not too many restaurants in downtown Indianapolis that even use the word "brisket" on their menu. You can learn a lot about Kosher Style Food and the history of Jewish Food at this Indianapolis deli. "Brisket" is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest. While all meat animals have a brisket, the term is most often used to describe beef or veal. The brisket is made up of two separate muscles which are sometimes separated for retail cutting: the lean "first cut" and the fattier "second cut".
When you order brisket at Shapiro's you could be ordering corned beef brisket or roast beef brisket. So don't be surprised if you order brisket and we ask you which kind....corned beef or roast beef? Remember, it is just the cut.
